Bastardized my S4 tails..PICS!
I had been meaning to do this for a while, I did it to my 87 Base model and liked it.. I am hunting a nice set of S5's but in the mean time these will do.
Process:
Light sand the edges with 800 grit
Wipe the whole thing down with NAPTHA
Shoot 4 thin layers of "model tint" spray
Let dry.
Shoot 2 layers of industrial clear.
let dry.
Here are the pics, the reflector still works as you can see in the picture, it is the red spot on the driver's side light...

I bought some LED lights that are meant for a trailer that I am going to install and see how they look, The drivers light is cracked so I thought that it would be cool to try some stuff out on them..

^ yeah those are sweet. I always wanted to do that to my tails (and IMO S4>S5, especially when they look like that!) I just would have kept the amber part amber. I thought that the guy who did that made a writeup about it... yes no?
Also, those tails painted the rest of the car really helps out the looks.

Yeah these are really clean looking.. from what I remember he made one set, never sold any additional ones but he was selling the clear 3rd brake light for a while. I would like a writeup on these.. If anyone finds a link that would be sweet..
